RE: Programming Diary #19: Follower network strength and preparing for Open Source publication

in Steem Dev8 months ago

I wonder if I have any painful suggestions to make?

Thinking about the Follower count to assist voting percentages, I wonder how hard (or necessary) it would be to check "Follower Activeness" - not necessarily their "Last Update" but perhaps checking that their STEEM Power is above a minimum threshold for acceptance. For example, older users might have a "higher reputation" bias from inactive users. As I type this, I'm asking myself "so what?" and perhaps the answer is that you're checking if the user's attracting new followers and therefore still posting good quality content. Although high power users naturally attract new followers irrespective of how good their content is.

Can you tell I'm thinking out loud.

I've mentioned it before, but IMO, @moecki should be ranked much higher than #58. It seems to me that he provides more to the ecosystem than several of the witnesses in top-20 positions, and many of the others, too. I hope readers will consider allocating a vote towards his witness.

!00% agree. Not only his activity, but his willingness to put himself in the community for all to see. I know some witnesses working behind the scenes that haven't talked about what they're doing (not that I've seen anyway).

I've thought about that, too (great minds think alike? 😉). Also median SP of followers. I think both values might be useful, but the only ways I know to implement them would be to query each follower account separately at the time of voting, or to store it in my own database and update it regularly. Both implementations require more compute than I want to put into it right now.
